I spent a great deal of last week reading about wonderful, er, liberal interpretations of the rules in motorsports, but by chance I happened upon one of my favorites that I’d completely forgotten about. And it involves parts getting shoved in the trunk.

Alfa Romeo fans love to go on and on about beauty and soul, but we’re talking about a modern-day Formula One car here. We’re just lucky this isn’t the year of the penis nose with those. Sauber unveiled their Alfa-branded F1 livery today, and it’s okay. It’s not a gorgeous 4C in F1 car form. It’s just okay.

Standing on the edge of a dry lakebed at 4:30 a.m., stars twinkling overhead, I could hear the sound of a distant engine but couldn’t quite make out from where. Scanning the black abyss that is nighttime El Mirage, a lone distant light was actually moving closer and closer. Out of the darkness rumbled a scene straight…

Few car companies have more motorsports history than Alfa Romeo. Enzo Ferrari actually got his start running its racing team in the 1930s, and even today Ferrari’s Formula One cars still carry the Alfa logo. But for more than 30 years now, Alfa’s been absent from the top tier of open-wheel racing. That’s kind of sad!…

It has been brought to our attention at Jalopnik that we have been very wrong about the car brand “Alfa Romeo.” We have called it unreliable, when it is in fact not. It is very reliable. Luckily, the Real Car Men have explained it to us. Please forgive us for this transgression.

Last year, Automotive News Europe’s sources claimed that the Alfa Romeo Giulia was delayed for “extensive reengineering” after the car “failed to pass internal front, side and rear crash tests.” Fiat Chrysler then outright denied this to Road & Track,and while we may never know the truth, we do know this: the…

If you shop smart and qualify for the right rebates you can lease the regular Alfa Romeo Giulia for around $299 a month. But if you are in the market for the Quadrifoglio you could be looking at payments upwards of $1,700 a month, making it one of the worst lease values on the market.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia is heralding the Italian brand’s comeback to America by embracing its heritage: providing an amazing driving experience while managing to have failures on a regular basis. Owners are reporting a multitude of issues online, and it seems like every car that gets sent to a journalist has some type…

BONG BONG BONG. The dashboard had lit up like a Christmas tree. Power was gone. The whole car started shuddering. We were in a 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia with just barely 1,709 miles on the odometer, and it was already breaking down.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia is a sexy and fast sports sedan that has been off to a bit of a rough start in the U.S. Given Alfa’s history of unreliab—er, quirky cars, the only way many of you would consider one is going the lease route. For less than $300, that Giulia might now be pretty tempting.

Haven’t you heard? Well, no, you probably haven’t if you’re a peasant. But if not, you’ve probably heard this tip making the rounds in the elite circles: Changing clothes is for the poors, and having a suit that can handle every weather condition that this unfair life throws at you is the new thing.

If you took a lovely Alfa Romeo Giulia and stretched it out vertically, you’d basically get the 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. It’s Alfa Romeo’s first foray into the dark and corrupt world of SUVs, and now we know how much blood money Alfa wants for it.
